Why collect the data?
Most recruiters report the shortlist. We report the whole conversation.
Our consultants spend time speaking with people who say no as well as those who say yes. Those conversations reveal what the market thinks about your company, salary, working pattern, and offer. Most agencies stop at the candidates they can submit; this shows you the market feedback they usually leave behind.
You receive the same clear market report for every role we work on, whether we fill it, you pause it, or the brief changes. The evidence can still help you refine the role and make the next hiring decision.
